8 Home Remedies For Spring Allergy Relief

Spring has sprung in Brentwood and allergy season is upon us.

As much as I love springtime, with all of the beautiful green grass and budding flowers, I have terrible allergies that start with the palms of my hands itching even before any of the normal signs of spring can be seen.

A friend once told me that I was to allergy season what the groundhog is to spring. Funny, but pretty true.

I’m not a doctor, so take this list with a grain of salt, but I thought I’d pass along some of the home remedies that seem to help me in the peak of allergy season…

Apple cider vinegar is one of those cure-all home remedies that’s been around forever and is praised for helping with all sorts of things from sinus infections and weight loss, to gout and hot flashes.

I was very hesitant to start this one, but my sinus infections were so frequent that I had to do something. It sounded plain gross to me, but it really isn’t bad. And this is coming from someone who cannot even stand the smell of vinegar.

I mix 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar (the kind that is not filtered and has the mother of vinegar in it) with 1 heaping teaspoon of local honey and 8 oz of hot water. You can add more honey to taste. Drink it up twice a day.

I've lived in and around Brentwood, Tennessee for most of my life. I grew up in Franklin, moved away for a short time, and returned to Brentwood with a husband and preschooler in tow. I love gardening, walking, inline skating, scrapbooking, and spending time with my family.
